Wheel Replacement - Chevrolet 2008 T Series Owner's Manual

Wheel Replacement

Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, replace
the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts. If the wheel
leaks air, replace it.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted
the same way as the one it replaces.
CAUTION:
{
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel
bolts, or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose
air and make you lose control. You could have
a collision in which you or others could be
injured. Always use the correct wheel, wheel
bolts, and wheel nuts for replacement.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM
original equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to
have the right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for
your vehicle.

CAUTION:
{
A leaking wheel could fail without warning.
A wheel designed for tubeless tires could be
leaking because it is damaged. Do not use
an inner tube or some other thing to try to
stop the leaking. Get a new wheel of the
proper type.
CAUTION:
{
Without the correct wheel, wheel bolts or
wheel nuts, you may not be able to stop
properly, and you could have other problems
like a tire air-out. You could have a collision.
If you do not go to your dealer to get a new
wheel, wheel bolts or wheel nuts, be sure you
get the correct ones. Each new wheel should
match the original wheel in load-carrying
capacity, inflation pressure capacity, diameter,
width, offset and mounting configuration.
